Biography

Richard Mason, the author of The World of Suzie Wong, did NOT have any involvement in Winter of Our Dreams. That should be credited, instead, to the Australian producer/director Richard Mason . The Trivia section is also partially incorrect. Only "The Wind Cannot Read' was based on his experiences serving with the RAF in Burma during World War II. "The Shadow and the Peak" is set in Jamaica.
